Showdown-On Japanese

Trade Issue

May Come

Within Next Few Months

orrrAWA. Aug. ll -(OP) -Can- sdian trade officials are taking . "maybe-we-will-maybe-we-won't" attitude on the issue of extending lower tariffs to Japan.

But Japanese demands and the force of international trade pat- temp may whittle away the strong wall of opposition built up by Can- adian manufacturers against im- porting cheap Japanese goods at low rates.

A showdown on the issue. which may become one of the hottest de- bates during the next session of Parliament, likely will come within the next few months.

The issue will be placed at the Federal Government's doorstep when the nexf meeting of the Generslksgreement on Tariffs and Trade opens in Geneva Oct. 2.

Jam Seek Concessions

with a peace treaty signed, Jap- an is increasing pressure on Can- ada and other countries in Join the 31-country pact under which she could get. most-favored-nation tariff treatment. Japanese exports in Canada and most other G,A.T. r. countries are subject to the highest general tariff rates.

Canada has been reluctant in the past to vote in favor of Japan's admittance. fearful of being swamped by low-priced Japanese goods which would injure Canad- ian manufacturers. ,, I

However, it now has to face the fact that foreign markets are not easy to find and that Japan has grown to Canada's fourth largest market, while imports of Japanese goods are still at a comparatively low level.

Exports To Japan Tripied

Canada's exports to Japan more than tripled in 1051 to 373,000,000 from 320,500,000 in 1950. They were more than 12 times higher than the 85,300,000 in 1949.

Four Progs-oeciors Claim Find In "Mother Lode"

EDMONTON. AuE'- 6 -- (CP)- Four prospectors today claimed a rich find of uranium ore in Al- erta close to the Goldfields and eaverlodge areas of Northwest- ern Saskatchewan.

They claimed their find to be the "mother lode" of the rich de- posits that have started history's first uranium rush to the area.

The men. who filed their claims in Edmonton late last week. said their find is on the Alberta. side of the Alberta-Saskatchewan bor- der and only a quarter of a mile from deep water along the shore of Lake Athabaska, straddling the boundary.

It lies in an unsurveyed town- ship 40 miles west of Black Bay. where the new Uranium City is the focal point of Saskal.”chewan's biggest claims-staking rush.

North Hayes. spokesman for the quartet. said that samples of the find had been forwarded to Ot- tawa and a telegram report in- dicated they were of high uranium content.

Hayes, a native of Corcoran, Celif., and more recently a,North- ern Alberta railroeder, eeld the group had found uranium-bearing outcroppings ranging up to seven feet in width. Located with the out- croppings were large quantities of a pinkish-hued rock similar to the rock from which uranium is be- ing taken at Goldfields; Sask., 50 miles east.

URANIUM CITY, Basin. Aug. 6 - (GP) - Tourists swapped fish- ing tackle and cameras for axes and shovels today while the first uranium rush in history continued unabated. A

The third day of the rush saw hundreds of prospectors out stak- ing and quarrelling in the North- western Saskatchewan bush in the fever of making a fortune.

Arteries of travel that swarmed with every possible type of convey- ance two days ago now are desert- ed. The settlemenis of Goldfields and Uranium City have almost turned into ghost towns since-bus- iness men and housewives fell prey to the uranium fever. The only barber in the area has laid aside his apron and shears.

The silence is broken only by the ringing of axes and the buzzing of millions of mosquitoes and black files that infest the rain-soaked bushland.

Bitterness flared and accusations of jumping the gun were heard as disputed claims mounted. some ob- tained proof by taking pictures and flying in witnesses to the scene. in one instance, is group of 20 pros- pectors warned it smaller group to stay clear and keep moving.

Rain Brings Joy To New-England

No Federal

Commenting on a report. pub- lished yesterday. that the request for a new runway for the Omar- iottetown airport had been grant- ed, Mayor J.D. Stewart said last night that the awry "sounds very nice, but it is not based on fact." There have been no developments, he said. since the Transport Min- ister. Hon. Lionel Chevrler, was here last week and heard repre- sentations on the subject.

As reported at the time, the Min- ister appeared favorably impressed but could make no commitments. He emphasized that he would first have to get a report from his ne- partmentel engineers. and then on- taln Cabinet approval of the pro- ject.

Recalling the Minister's state- ment last night, Mayor Stewart pointed out that a third step would be required before the project could be assured. This would be for the City of Charlottetown tolacquire the necessary land.

Assurance

Re City Airport Runway

A checkup with other authorities yesterday fully corroborated Mayor Stewart's statements. It was point- ed out by Mr. W. G. Gillespie, man- ager of the Airport and represent- ative of the Federal Department here, that the engineers have not yet arrived to make their survey. They are expected here next week. and it would be some time there- after before their report could be prepared for the Minister's consid- eretion.

Others contacted on the subject included Premier Jones; Hon. A.w. Matheson, who represented the Provincial Government at the con- ference with Mr. Chevrler last week; City Councillor P. C. McCor- rnac, who is also president of the Liberal Association; and Mr. Cari Burke, president of Maritime Cen- tral Airways, who took an import- ant part in the conference discus- sion. All of them cixpressed the view that the report of any Federal de- cision at this stage was fictitious.

Canadian Doll? At New High e .

NEW YORK. Aug. ii -'.1CP)-- Demand for Canadian currency pushed the Canadian dollar to its highest point in 19 years here to- day but it eased back a shade at the close of trading.

Continuing its climb that started several months ago when the Can- adian Government placed its dol- lar on the free market, the Canad- ian dollar at noon tod y was' quot- ed at s1.0( 3-Iliin fore gn exchange dealings. It eased off to sl.04 1-18 at the close.

Dealers attributed purchases to heavy needs of funds for invest- ment in Canada and for buying of Canadian wheat.

Back in 1933 when the United States was about to advance its buying price for gold to 535 an ounce. the Canadian dollar rose to a premium of more than five cents over the U. S. dollar at sl.05 1-2.

Forest Clpsure

VANCOUVEZR. Aug. 6 -(CPl- Brltlsh Columbia's S525,000,000 lumber industry still reeling from the effects of a 45-day strike, was hit again today by forest closure.

The Provincial Forest Service shut down the fer-flung Vancou- ver dlstrict. richest in the province, because of the fire hazard.

The weatherman was not hope- ful. Though temperatures were down, no appreciable amount of rain was in sight.

Logging was at a standstill for the second time since 32.000 wood- workers went on strike June 15. They went back to work a week ago: ,

The forest closure also hit the tourist industry. No person is per- mitted to enter any forest area to hunt. fish or travel without first obtaining a permit. Mining. con- struction and roadbuilding projects in the woods also came to a halt.

More than so fires were burning in the province. is of them in the Vancouver district, which includes Vancouver Island.

one possibility under investiga- tion is that navy men may have been responsible ,in carrying out their roles in e znlghttlme mock- war infiltration manoeuvre a week before rags and metals were found in the 'engi'nes- or nine Lancaster aircraft in late July.-

The navy men who invaded the

.3...-c. 1i,--1-",-' -base that night are be-

ing questioned by the R. C. M. P. So far. an official said. there is no evidence to indicate that navy men are to blame.

other possible answers are under study, he said. but none so far of- fer a hard indication of what act- ually happened.

The rags and metal were first discovered in the engines when one Lancaster had trouble during a flight. it returned to base and eight others on the ground were found to have had the same treat- ment.

25-Cents-Pound Figure May Be Revised Oct. 1

OTTAWA. sug. 6 -(CP)- The Federal Government today ex- tended its 25-cent-a-pound floor price for beef another month to Sept, 30, Agriculture Minister Ger- diner said it will suppmt the cane- dian cattle industry as long as the United states market remains closed to it.

The current floor price-26 cents a pound. on the basis of good steers at Toronto-wa.s'to have ex- pired Sept 1. But Mr. Gardiner an- nounced that the Cabinet decided to extend it "through September."

The Government still was unde- cided whether to change the floor level in October when the flow of beef to market begins to hit an- nual peaks. Farmers, said Mr. Gardiner, -will be advised before the end of September.

Surplus Taperlng Off

Micanwhile. he noted list the movement of surlus Canadian beef to market is tapering off.

The Government's purchases of beef for shipment to Britain a- mounted to as much as 3,500,000 pounds a week during early July. Mr. Gardiner said. By mid-July purchases tapered off to about 760- 000 pounds a week.

"During the next few weeks. de- pending on cattle marketings. Prices Support Board purchases may be further reduced." he said.

shipments to Britain are worked out under the Canada-New zea- land-U. K. beef exchange plan. Canada is paid for her beef shipp- ed to the U. K. in New zeelend beef. New Zealand sells this for Canada in the United states.

The Government has purchased about 45,000,000 pounds for delivery to Britain, about '15 per cent of the New Zealand beef which will be available for sale in the U. S. That leaves only about 15,000,000 pounds which the Government can pur- chase from Canadian farmers for use ingihe exchange plan during the current year,

This may be is lot less than the Canadian surplus available when marleetings reach their heavy per- iod during the fall. It is question- able if by that time, the U. 3. market will be restored. Canada is lifting its South Saskatchewan quarantine . imposed because of foot-and-mouth disease, on Aug. 19, officially declaring itself free of the disease.

U. S. Scientist Seeks T 0 Explain iiSaucers”

WASI-lXNG'Il.)N. Aug. 6 -(AP)- A United States army scientist ex- perimenting with it glass jar has succeeded in producing fiery ob- jects that look just like some of those seen shooting through the night skies in recent weeks.

A spokesman for the Corps of Engineers said today these findings of physicist Noel Scott are being made public be- cause they explain at least some of the many "flying saucer" reports the Air Force has been investigat- ing lately.

By introducing molecules of ionized air into the partial vacuum of his bell jar, Scott reported. he has created the orange-red balls. discs. mushrooms and "ice cream cones" familiar to hundreds of ex- cited sky-watchers. . v
